Many religions are focused on the afterlife, but it also seems sensible to fret a bit about the beforedeath period of our existence.
Whatever the rosy scenario that awaits us eternally I see no reason to condemn us in the interim to a waiting room without kindness.
Also interesting to me is the before life period. If I have an immortal soul then how could I possibly have a beginning?
If you think about it either the chicken or the egg must have come first. The same applies to the tree and the seed. The baby or the adult.
Also, I have also not been able to understand why human beings have evolved from both a male and a female. How can it be that two parts of a whole evolved separately, in the same timeframe to within decades, and able to survive and propagate cooperatively?
Perhaps the first humans were androgynous? At least that would decrease the unlikelihood of a man/woman parallel evolution.
They would also have to have been capable of survival from birth. If not, that would of necessity be true for their ancestors until eventually it is true.
I find the creator myth unacceptable as an explanation. Who created the creator? The creator's creator? And so on...
How did we begin?
Isn't that a fascinating puzzle?
